I've tested this out on my wife.  She's been a computer user for many 
years and has also done some IT support work in the past.  But she 
doesn't have the mistrust of computer systems that 30+ years of 
software development (plus a degree in Psychology) has given me.  

So when the dialog cam up, I asked her what she would do.  Without 
hesitation, she said she would check all the boxes.  Why, I asked her.  
Because I would want to open these files in Open Office, she said.  
Then I explained what the consequence of this would be, and she said 
that she wouldn't want *that* to happen.  

Only then did I tell her the problems we were having.  One telling thing 
was that when I pointed out the line in the heading then says...

Select the file types that are to be opened with OpenOffice.org 1.9.79

... she said 'Oh, I didn't notice that'.  Strange.  Neither did I when first 
saw this form.  I had to look again to take it in.  It should have been on 
the main form with the other line.  

So what do I do to get this changed without it disappearing into a black 
holr? I have at least one vote from Cor Nouws for the sort of wording I 
suggested.  And is this a 2.1 or a 2.0.1 fix?
